the tra ns—pacific partnership was aimed at boosting the economics of 12 nations around the pacific oceanthe new us president donald trump has used his first working day in the white house to sign an executive order pulling the us out of the deal. the tra ns—pacific partnership covered about 40% of the world's economy and could have added $100 billion to the world economy by 2025. that was what they said and predicted. it was signed by 12 nations in the pacific area at a ceremony in new zealand last year. the painstaking negotiations took seven years, but one reason implementation was delayed was the failure of the us congress to ratify it. china was the biggest economy to not be included, and it was widely viewed as a way to cement trade relations without beijing's influence. the us under president trump now wants to negotiate trade deals on a country—to—country basis, with a 30—day cancellation clause "in case somebody misbehaves". here's what he said about the withdrawal. we have been talking about this for a long time. 0k. a ok. a great thing for the american worker, what we just did.

there were cheers as the first stage touched down successfully on a barge moored in the pacific, nineeports. ona clear on a clear california morning, the spacex rocket company resumed flights with its falcon nine blasting into the blue sky. it was launched from the vandenberg air force base, carrying ten spacecraft for one of its main customers, iridium. it now has 70 planned missions, worth more than $70 billion, including for nasser, who will again use it to fly cargo for the international space station. falcon nine performance is nominal as we head done rage over the pacific ocean. just minutes after the launch, the first stage of the rocket landed successfully on a platform in the pacific, prompting huge applause at mission control. spacex founder and entrepreneur elon musk tweeted. .. spacex founder and entrepreneur elon musk tweeted... and an hour and 15 minutes after the launch, the mission was complete, with the iridium payload safely in orbit. it was also different last september, for one of its rockets exploded on a launch pad in florida. falcon nine was about to go through

the other thing is tpp, the trans—pacific partnership, this is barack obama's trans—pacific partnerships is barack obama's baby. he doesn't want to get rid of it, it will go ahead with asian countries trading with other asian countries. he doesn't wa nt to other asian countries. he doesn't want to be part of that. he thinks it is taking jobs away from america. it is antagonistic against other countries, isn't it? yes, and interestingly enough, bernie sanders was for not getting involved with tpp, and also getting rid of nafta, the north american free trade agreement, trump also wants to get rid of that because it brings jobs back to america and it antagonises other countries, in that case mexico and canada. so it is an interesting thing that he feels these are priorities. he has already started the ball rolling on dismantling the affordable care act. bernie sanders, no matter how vitriolic it was, trump was never rude about bernie sanders. he never made fun of him, never traduced him, he said that the dnc, democratic national committee, it is stitched up, he used the expression, they st

falcon 9 performance is nominal, as we head down—range over the pacific ocean.unch, the first stage of the rocket landed successfully on a platform in the pacific, prompting huge applause at mission control. spacex founder and entrepreneur elon musk tweeted. .. and, an hour and 15 minutes after the launch, the mission was complete, with the iridium payload safely in orbit. it was all so different last september, when one of its rockets exploded on a launchpad in florida. a falcon 9 was about to go through a routine engine ignition test when fire ripped through it, destroying both the rocket and a $200 million satellite it was due to carry into orbit two days later. investigators believe the explosion was caused by a design problem with the helium pressure tanks. but, after this latest successful launch, spacex has a busy 2017 ahead, with 27 launches planned. earlier keith cowing, editor of nasa watch told me why this was such a significant moment. spacex has been pushing the envelope since the day they started and as such there is a lot of scrutiny on their fail

>> well, my concern is that we can sign the asia-pacific region to china.version of tpp. they have now very significant economic role, where 60% of the world's economy is in asia-pacific region and we are stepping back. i have talked to leaders of asian countries, who have all said that this will seal the deal to china. that, to me, is not good for america. >> jobs lost from america to asia is the president's stand. >> i guess that depends on your fundamental belief. with a level playing field. and i believe that the tpp was largely level. there's always uneven aspects of it, that the united states worker can compete with any other worker in the world. and i believe that the american worker is the best, by far. look at our lead in the economic indicators that are most important. that's in high tech capabilities. and so i believe that this is harmful and, over time, it will give the chinese a greater domination economically. and also some of their behavior patterns, by the way. >> speaking of behavior patterns, let me turn to russia. you have expressed grave

so we will continue to advocate the deal itself, but also for us engagement in the asia—pacific.s, and to the region. so in time we will see how us policy position works out. but we remain optimistic that, in the asia—pacific, we'd be better off with the deal, better off with us engagement. can you have a deal without the us? because donald trump has said not, that the us will not be a signatory. i think that has yet to be seen. for many of the signatories, the us was the prize. for us there is also japan, as another large economy. so we willjust have to see how that plays out. what do you think of donald trump's leadership style, what you have seen from him so far? well, it is certainly changing things. it has got attention. but it is really a matter for the us, as a democracy, to work out what they want, where they want to go. we have a long—standing relationship and friendship with the us, and we believe they will continue to be a powerful economy, a big influence in our region, and we will work with them. what about this relationship, though, that he seems to be building up w

gulliver: i think china will take an increasingly bigger role in the asian pacific. think the extent to which the u.s. will not support dtp, and , and the extent that new multinational trade agreements will be cemented, i think that will cement the role of china in the global economy. i think there will be in increase in interregional asia trade. i think china will take an increasingly dominant role in regional trade agreements in the asia-pacific. probablyk the world is going to evolve into big, regional trading blocks. we might see less global trade, but we will see much larger global -- regional trading blocks. obviously, nafta is something that president trump has indicated he wants to revisit. i was in mexico last week -- john: hang on, staying on china, you'd think -- do you think the china is -- the chinese are now the new apostles of global economy? mr. gulliver: it is a change from a we have expected, but it is consistent with beijing policy. it is consistent with the political developments in china. it should be looking to play a greater role on the world s

they're going to come to the first port on the pacific ocean side. that, of course, will be san diego. let's make sure everybody knows about that. they had a world's fair. out here is the largest outdoor organ in the world, the pavilion, and there are three concerts. these are some of the buildings left over from that 1915 exposition. when you think about it, putting on a world's fair for his city that had tens of thousands and population in 1915, this took a chutzpah.t spa -- this was a big thing. this is showed what the state of california had to offer. you see this a lot of movies. there was ae," segment in there about the xanadu. the biggest monument a man has ever built to himself. .anadu was this we are crossing across the bridge here. this was the grand entranceway into that 1915 exposition. andrea: did that bring a lot of people here? ken: you did. it kind of put san diego on the map to read we did some things in our city. we changed these streets. every city worth its salt has to have a broadway. it just did a lot. changed some of the avenue
