north america is a big issue that's a big deal. >> i don't disagree, but we put too much on the north america peek because where do you want to be growing? north america. >> it's 40%. >> so when we talk about a cisco or intel or anybody else or apple, the next growth hey, they got the iphone, they're starting to slip go to services all the area areas where you need the company to show they have growth. that's what nike's going for me at least right now that's why i say had this been sold off, i would be a buyer stephanie. >> they said they needed mid single digits out of north america to get to their number the number they put out there. the reason i'm putting so much emphasis on north america is based on the plan and it's hard to get to that $50 billion number without north america carry iing its load that's the issue there i agree with you about the strengths internationally and the growth, but if they hasn't thrown out 50 billion, i probably would be saying something different here but they did they need it and that's why it's important. >> sam, i'm wonder, i gather from reading yo

is north america starting to at least get steady getting more competitive against adidas here in north america i would say as long as they can just stay even here in north america, the true growth that we've been looking for and we've been getting has been internationally. it's not just china. it's all toefr rest of the world, but china obviously is the main figure that everybody looks at, so you look at the numbers. they were up 16%, this quarter even r more. the strength of nike is the international growth, plus the direct to consumer add in the fact their margins aren't great that said, i'd agree with jimmy. i got out at the same level about month ago with jimmy around 67. i don't like the valuation level. you'll see a time, this is very much like a home depot numbers are great. everything is there. and sooner or later, somebody is going to start to panic because they say suddenly, hey, look, you look at the pe, it's trading around 24, 25. maybe a 28 that makes me nervous. i'm going the take some off. >> give me a different name then you said you like other names. >> one that's easy

ripped henry lee was born in begun r virginia's and north america's wealthiest and more most powerful familiesment one of those fabled dynasties at the time, lime the haspburgs in europe. the lees ruled over hundreds of thousands of acres across the colonial virginia, maryland, and pennsylvania. their fleet of ships carried american tobacco to all corners of the earth. at the peak of their wealth and power, thelee controlled virginia's government and economy and made it north america's largest, richest, and most populated british colony. new york was nothing then. virginia was the heart of our country. but needing nothing to fill his person needs he studied and traveled in europe and return to his virginia home to absorb a huge family library of learning before deciding to enter public service. what started as an avocation in public service became a life-long commitment and turn him against many of his own social and economic class in the south, as he ran into government corruption and widespread deprivation of individual rights. his conflicts with corrupt officials and petty tyrants

and mexico in north america and corridors as tony was talking about, which are the imagination and we shrink opportunity. the last example is the best because we are now at a point of being not only an energy exporter, but an energy giant in a way that has strategic impact that we haven't even fully conceived to. so if we shut off the aperture of the opportunity because of not only not having nafta in place, that creating anti-american antibodies in their system, which needs to be recognized. i think senator sasse alluded to this. there is a human dimension to this and tony come you did as well. if we pull back, there is going to be a sense of resentment and a sense of retreat in no way that not only hurts the united states in terms in the realm of possible, but also what they are willing to do, what they are willing to sacrifice, where they are going to see mutual benefit or interest or even cost. that is exactly where the chinese and other actors are very willing to play, especially when they are perhaps playing by different rules, willing to play by different economic margins. all

the first is that when we discussed trade partnerships across the globe but especially in north america, when we discuss trade the american people right now regularly jump to job change and job disruption, and there's a basic true fact that we still have in common that we don't all have in common, which is that technology, not trade, is overwhelmingly the primary driver of job change in job -- job change and job disruption in america. that is technology, not trade, is the overwhelming driver of job description -- job disruption in america today. number two, it looks the effects of trade just from economic standpoint, we will get to national security implications of trade as well today, but if you look at trade just as an economic matter it is being indisputably good for the u.s. throughout history. this is an academic theory. this is historical reality, and nafta in particular has been indisputably good for the u.s. it's also being indisputably good for mexico and it's also being indisputably good for canada. there's nothing internally inconsistent about those statements because trade d

more jobs, including manufacturing here in north america north america's competitiveness is essential to our prosperity. here in mexico city, we made solid progress. our negotiators have been toilet away on some of these bread-and-butter chapters for months. yet, the issues are hugely important for individuals and we are moving ahead. in previous rounds, we close chapters on competition. your attic we added substantially by closing the good regulatory practices chapter, the cemetery chapter and the proprietary food annexed. we are beginning to make headway on some of the more challenging issues. in round six, canada offered creative ideas to initiate ideas.ion about these it continues here in mexico city. we are making progress, but we do have significant work ahead. separateuse on a point. last week, i issued a statement that the yuan's pending announcement on seal imports. ally and if number one customer of american steel, canada would use any trade restriction as absolutely unacceptable. we've always sent a for canadian workers and businesses. canada will take appropriate measures

look at the history of north america, south america, central asia.full of such stories. yes, i mean, there has been violence associated with migration, but it isn't necessarily the case. in north america, there was a kind of genocide where the free colombian population of america was effectively wiped out by those who came in. but, you know, i have brown skin because for tens of thousands of years, lighter skinned people have come into the darker skinned parts of the indian subcontinent where i live and that they didn't actually massacre each other and result in just lighter skinned people surviving. they stuck around and inter—mixed. and most of human history, i think, is like that. it is not genocide after genocide. frequently, i think most often, it is that we don't engage in genocide, which is why we're shocked by genocide. ijust wonder and i alluded to this earlier, whether you would acknowledge that your rather optimistic view of where humanity is going, particularly on this question of migration and the intermingling of peoples, is reflective

welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: a pedestrian bridge collapses onto a highway in miami, killing four people. we'll have the latest from florida. president trump joins the uk, france and germany in blaming moscow for the poisoning of a russian spy. as russia holds its presidential election on sunday — we find out why people in the country's "rust belt" find mr putin so popular. and in a special report, we speak to syrian civilians who escaped the conflict in eastern ghouta. at least four people died when a newly built pedestrian bridge collapsed onto a highway in miami. emergency services are working to rescue those still trapped in vehicles under the bridge which crosses one of the busiest roads in south florida. it was only put up last week and hadn't yet been opened to pedestrians. lebo diseko reports. it was built for safety. but as night fell, what was left of this bridge was the scene of a tragedy. emergency services say they are still in search and rescue mode for now.

we believe when canada is thriving, the global shop floor that is north america means bmw and mercedes decide to start manufacturing cars destined for europe in south carolina and alabama. that's pretty extraordinary. if you go to germany today, the x series, one of the most common bmws on the road, the x series doesn't have any manufacturing in europe. it's done exclusively in south carolina. that's amazing. why does that happen? because we have a north american global shop floor that produces really high quality, low cost stuff, because we don't believe things are a zero sum game. so when american public rhetoric starts, when american public rhetoric degrades and declines to the place where someone can say a phrase like nafta has been bad -- sorry, nafta has been good for mexico and americans hear in their mind well then, we must have got taken, we must have negotiated some bad deal because if nafta's been good for mexico then we must have lost. that assumes that every deal is a zero sum game. it's not true of trade. trade is a win/win. there are deals in the world, in a real estate

would not have happened at the way that it did without native people. 1763 represents a shift in north america. france abandons its north american claims. it sends people to get that region out of the hands of the british. france has been defeated on every front across the world. the british now have a huge north american empire. they are virtually bankrupt, after fighting what was essentially the first world war. they are not quite sure what to do with this empire. what they don't do is keep their word. the british redcoats occupy forts that has been abandoned by french troops. at the same time they do that, the british high command says, we can save money by not giving gifts to the indians. we do not need indians as allies anymore to fight the french. why would begin them gets and supply them with guns and give them favorable trade? we will stop. giftgiving in native american diplomacy is not about giftgiving. it is about the feeling of -- fueling the diplomacy, allies give and receive gifts. giving gifts demonstrates you speak from the heart, not just from the mouth, that you are committed
