so many young people go to new zealand backpacking, this has caused quite a lot of shock in new zealand to welcoming in tourists and a scan of crime is pretty unusual. it is, new zealand will be worried that its reputation as a safe destination for backpackers and travellers will be diminished because of this tragedy, but it must be said that new zealand isa but it must be said that new zealand is a pretty safe place for thousands of young britons, it is a rite of passage for many, we know that this young woman from essex have spent some time in south america. she arrived in new zealand and had been travelling by herself. there are thousands of other young women from around the world who regularly do this. we are getting into the warm summer this. we are getting into the warm summer months in the southern hemisphere and new zealand will remain no doubt a very popular part of the backpacker trial but i would imagine that this tragedy in auckland will make many young women think very carefully about their personal safety, in a country that has enjoyed a reputation as being a pretty safe p

new zealand, you have to be an optimist to be in this game, particularly if you are a new zealander in this game giving you don't bring any power to be equation. we are optimistic that good ideas can work and be accepted so that is what we are trying to do, provide good ideas and square the circle where it needs to be. it is impossible to say we are evaluating time frames. it is too important, people are heavily engaged. this is a discussion happening in real-time in geneva, fingers crossed as soon as possible. i couldn't give you a timeframe. i am sorry. >> anyone else? >> we will put that in the to do list for 2019. >> great panel. fill lane with training for america. there are generally two rules on trade conflicts. one is if you have a trade war, there are no winners. there is also a counter view, which is there really are trade winners and they are not involved in the trade war. since the official start of hostilities with china, which was the beginning of july, us numbers, exports to china have trended downward mainly because of soybeans, but us imports from china have gone up dr

this is australia, new zealand, china, japan, and india. this is a huge economic collection of countries. they moving forward. i actually admire your optimism that it will be concluded next year. as somebody who helped draft some language year after year after year on tpp and how we're expecting significant conclusion this year and becoming very good friends thou though sur raus. it's moving forward. whether it concludes next year or not, from my view, the important thing is they are moving. they're negotiating. what are other countries in asia doing now? who are not part of cptpp? well, korea, my old home, the koreans have free trade agreements with almost everyone in the comprehensive partnership for tpp. with all of the 11, except mexico and more importantly japan. so korea is seriously looking at joining tpp. there are some political issues between countries in the group so i don't know how quickly that will happen. but i know they're watching it very closely. no one wants their country at a competitive disadvantage. who will be the big

for a country like new zealand, is surprising. this government came in and realized the social life of the political life, to be involved, they need to make sure the benefits of trade were felt across the economy. it's a whole process of consultation and refreshing the kind of communities involvement to trade negotiations. it's something that clearly needs to happen here, one way or another. people alienated by trade agreements and that's a challenge for all of us. i will leave it there. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. let me take the monitors prerogative. a question to all of the panelists, very briefly, if we go all the way back to january 2017, it seems like a lot longer than less than two years ago. there was a feeling here at least, the tpp was not going to be resurrected. we weren't really sure where the driving force for liberalization was going to come from. that was the theme for the first year and now as we have reached into a series of actions that the u.s. has taken, but notably the dispute with china, i

grace's father arrived in new zealand yesterday.a, he was hopeful she could be found alive. but this is now a murder investigation. a man will soon be charged and the police search for grace continues. joining me now via webcam from wellington is anna chinn from radio new zealand. thanks forjoining us to give us an update. this is a terrible case for the family involved. what do we know about the circumstances that have led up to the police decision to charge this man? the police have only told us what they have found in the evidence from looking at hours of cctv footage at the hotel where she was last seen entering a week ago. that has given them the conclusion that she is no longer alive. they don't have a body and they are hoping to find one and return it to the family who are obviously quite devastated. investigations are trying to establish the body. how quickly ali likely to charge this man? he's going to be charged on monday morning. it is early on sunday morning. it is early on sunday morning here, so about 12 hours' time. w

what is it like in new zealand?you are going to new zealand, then you need to be working with the foreign and commonwealth office. you need to actually be working with your family at home as well, and there needs to bea at home as well, and there needs to be a combination of different angles that you are going to take if something does go wrong. this is why people need to make sure they have an emergency plan in place, and that needs to take into account if they have not been heard from that a procedure will kick into place whereby others can raise the alarm, and that is not unique to new zealand or australia. it is something people should be doing whenever they are travelling, making sure that first of all they do their preparation before they go, second of all that they are situationally aware once they're in a particular country or region and thirdly that they have an emergency response procedure in case something does go wrong. just give us an idea of what this emergency response procedures should be like? what

this is not new zealand.ere. and sort of stuff that happens here. and soi sort of stuff that happens here. and so i think you can see from the shock of new zealand people that thatis shock of new zealand people that that is the case as well. i think the message from the authorities is that this is an isolated incident that this is an isolated incident that really does not happen very often. and, of course, everybody's thoughts are with grace millane's family. herfather thoughts are with grace millane's family. her father and his thoughts are with grace millane's family. herfather and his brother are there in auckland. the rest of the family still in the uk. do we know what is being done to help and support them? not yet. a lot of condolence is being sent out to them. i know the full family has not been able to make it out. but her father, david, arrived early this week. so there will be a lot of support, i think, from authorities. to be honest, it is the sort of thing that kiwis will offer themselves up to he

and i think one of the main reasons why this has had such an impact on many new zealanders, we go forme way that grace has at the age of 22. and we embark on his adventures by ourselves as well. and, i guess, for new zealanders to have this happen to someone at such a young age, who was just, just finished university and was embarking on her huge overseas trip, it has really affected many people in the wider new zealand community. we will talk about grace in a moment because this is about her and her family. but to pick up on the threat we we re family. but to pick up on the threat we were talking about there, it must be, for the authorities, worrying because so many people come to new zealand and it is a place that is a destination and the economy relies a lot on tourism and a lot on young people coming to the country. that's exactly right. this isn't something that happens even once a year. in my memory, i don't recall a case similarto memory, i don't recall a case similar to this. and, as you say, tourism is such a huge part of our economy. we have heard from tourism new zealand to
