meng's case. jane: how much leeway does mr. trump have to intervene? if this is a criminal investigation, it is not the same as the governnt imposing sanctions. it is a bit of distance here. michael: yeah, exactly. again, we need to wait and see what the details of this casee. we only know very little right now. but presumably if they were nging this, they have a st legal rationale for this, c working wiadians to actually arrest ms. meng. again, i think it is very clear that they have a strong legal case for what they are doing right now. jane: very briefly, canada's potion in all of this -- w are they going to be under most pressure from, china or the u.s.? michael: i think they will be under a lot of pressure from china. it seems to me like the canadians have already decided where they areoing to be on this. they have agreed to arrest ms. meng, which means theyave been coordinating with the united states for quite a while on this. r them to back down now, it would be pretty difficult. jane: thanks very much indeed for joining me.ri thng trade tension

mr. rudd: good be with you, david. david: let's start with huawei and a woman named wanzhou meng.s is a straightforward allegationsn of involving iran. is there a larger geopolitical context? this is not a normal law enforcement matter, even though reports so far unofficially from the u.s. seem to indicate this is an investigation concerning a possible breach of u.s. sanctions against iran through the use of various technologies. but in the broader context of the u.s.-china relationship, this is major news. meng, is, madam chinese corporate royalty and is part of the influential set of corporate leaders in china, still very close to the government and to the party. so the way in which the chinese view this is it is not business as usual, this is unusual business. the final point is i think because the stakes are so high, u.s.-china trade negotiations, between president trump and xi jinping and buenos aires, the indications so far, the official reaction from beijing has been relatively muted, seeking to handle this through official circles. again, putting aside law enforcement -- b

mr macron‘s reforms. the global chief financial officer of huawei, one of china's leading tech companies, has been arrested in canada. meng faces extradition to the united states on suspicion she has violated american sanctions on iran. the company has said it is not aware of any wrongdoing. our asia business correspondent karishma vaswani is in singapore. we have been hearing for weeks various countries taking action with regards to huawei, but this is escalating it to a brand—new level, isn't it? indeed, sally, as one member of the chinese media twitter, the editor of the global times, he called this a despicable act that many in china will see as an attack, and this sort of continuation of what has been felt as the containment of notjust china as the containment of notjust china as it emerges on the global political stage but also of chinese companies. to remind audiences of what has actually happened, meng wanzhou, the what has actually happened, meng wa nzhou, the daughter of what has actually happened, meng wanzhou, the daughter of the founder of huawei and the firm's chief financial officer and deputy chair, so fin

meng wanzhou appears full hearing today. —— on friday. angela merkel‘s christian democrats are expected to appoint her successor as party leader later on friday, after mrsng down from the role. the election at the cdu party conference in hamburg has raised questions over how much longer mrs merkel will remain as german chancellor. our berlin correspondent jenny hill reports. there is a famous german saying, everything has it stands, only the sausage everything has it stands, only the sausage has two. and there is an air of the nullity here, a sense that as the year draws to a close, so too does the angela merkel era. translation: is right, she has been too long in thejob, it translation: is right, she has been too long in the job, it would translation: is right, she has been too long in thejob, it would be better to have a 2—term limit like in the us. translation: domitian is good, i must say i am sorry to see her leave. it was bad luck for were that the refugee policy but for me, she was the chancellor. —— i have to say it is good. her would-be replacements are campaigning for the chance to lead her party and quite possibly the country. there is health

mr patel said he had resigned for personal reasons, but the move appears to have unnerved investors. a canadian court has adjourned for the day with no decision on whether to grant bail to meng meng, who awaits a ruling on her extraditon to america, faces accusations that she misled banks about huawei's control of a company operating in iran, putting the banks at risk of violating us sanctions. chinese markets picked up this morning on news of a phone call between us and chinese officials to discuss the next steps in trade talks between the two powers. who knew a telephone call could make such a difference? china's ministry of commerce said officials set a road map for the next stage of consultations. first, robin brant is in shanghai. who was calling who? apparently china's vice premier, the man leading the trade talks, the chinese delegation, made the call to the man he was now his american counterpart, robert likewise, the us trade representative who has been a lawyer for some 30 years and is seen as more hawkish in terms of his stance on how china needs to change. america's treasury secretary was also on the call. investors feel more positive because at least they are ta

mr. thank you to this panel for being here and excellent work on a very critical topic. i'm sure everybody here has followed the arrest of meng wanzhou, the chief financial officer of hauwei. miss meng is accused of committing fraud as an effort to circumvent sanctions against iran. the president has suggested that he would intervene in her case. perhaps for the sake of helping him in a trade war, there are other means of ending the trade war and there are no doubt other impacts on whether we end it, but his suggestion that he would intervene to block action by the department of justice either in that extradition proceeding or in the underlying criminal action is extremely disturbing to me and i think it may be to others in the law enforcement community. the idea that the president would intervene in any criminal prosecution for political purposes seems somewhat troubling. so let me ask you whether you think that kind of statement sends a dangerous message to our law enforcement community? >> thank you, senator, for your question. i really can't comment on a pending criminal proceeding. obviously as you said, the extradition
