paul johnson, the director of the iss, says it is simplistic to assume that cutting taxes leads to higherd just fuel inflation and make things worse. he says what's worrying for him is that there would be tens of billions of pounds flowing into government coffers that would not now becoming if that happened, and he said that could risk crashing the public finances. rishi sunak�*s team have said tax cuts would really benefit the best off and not those who most need the help, but his plans have also been criticised by paul johnson, who said they are not adequate to the task that is facing us, so there are very many questions facing the candidates still, and in that context, liz truss is meant to be doing an interview with the bbc�*s nick robinson, one on one, face—to—face interview, and that has just been cancelled. liz truss's team so she can no longer find the time. ., round of the us open in new york, a decade after he won his first grand slam title there. laura scott is at flushing meadows for us. laura. it's day one of the us open, packed with storylines, and the drama could come thick

today we have heard from paul johnson, the director of the institute for fiscal studies, a respected the times newspaper and basically said all of this could not be done without, in his words, completely crushing the public finances. he says it is simplistic to just public finances. he says it is simplistic tojust think public finances. he says it is simplistic to just think that cutting taxes leads seamlessly to economic growth and he says that torque is quite worrying at a time of high inflation and big deficits. liz truss's campaign has responded, a spokesperson saying her plans will tackle economic orthodoxy, boost growth rates in the long term. she is not the only one who comes in for criticism. also, rishi sunak panned under the microscope from paul johnson, who says he thinks neither candidates have adequate solutions to the cost of living crisis we are seeing at the moment. another person who has weighed in here is alistair darling, former labour chancellor, but he was of course chancellor during the 2008 financial crash, so perhaps someone who has a bit more experience of di

paul johnson, an american director, has studied unit 731 documents at length, and knows its history well. unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short, then build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever. now. japan had a longstanding interest in biological weapons, emperor here a heater, who had a degree in the marine biology. believe that biological weapons would help japan conquer the world. as a descendant of the sun goddess a matter. also, he saw it as his calling in the 19 thirty's, the concept of japan's exceptional role in the world, permeated the country society. oh, so hopefully june gets the sunni hummadi condie equal, sucking yawn all that chism into. oh, japanese journalists, georgia condo, the author of evidence of unit 731 crimes. a book that caused quite a stir is one of the few people who trauma is to give an impartial account of factors that brought japan to war. tiny to even look up to your schedule for a chunky to cook. got it, says so to so you wi

paul johnson's criticism is notjust for liz truss.rishi sunak, the other contender, he says both candidates don't have adequate plans to deal with the current economic situation. we will have a new prime minister one week today, i'm not sure if the two candidates have been listening to the former labour chancellor alistair darling, who was chancellor during the 2008 economic crash, who has been on the radio this morning, says the two candidates have been coming up with small measures he says they need to act quickly and they need to go further than anyone expects you to do, in order to shore up confidence in the economy. we don't have a full plans from either candidate yet. 0ne plans from either candidate yet. one of them will be going into downing street one week today, and when they do, there will be pressure to spell exact out exactly what they mean to do. new figures show that chain store closures have dropped by 30% in the first six months of this year compared with the previous 12 months. but there are fears the cost—of—living c

we have heard today from the ifs, the respected economic think—tank, their director paul johnson hasuts automatically produce economic growth and he talks about it being a time of big deficit and high inflation and says there those policies are quite worrying. and in a separate piece he has written for the times, he says that neither liz truss nor rishi sunak are coming up with adequate solutions for rising energy gusts. rishi sunak of course wants to cut vat on energy bills and he has promised more targeted support for the most vulnerable but no figures on exactly what he will be offering yet. pauljohnson goes on to say energy gusts will be a problem for those on modest incomes and he says that whoever becomes prime minister will realise that there are hard choices that need to be made, and sometimes they can involve raising taxes. we know that is something liz truss, who appears to be the front—runner, is not planning to do, she believes you avoid recession by cutting taxes and growing the economy. we have also heard this morning from the former chancellor alistair darling who was

in october and then people will think they cannot afford and so answering that question, what paul johnson is if thatis johnson and others are saying is if that is to have a real impact you need to plan again for april, i accept that challenge.- need to plan again for april, i accept that challenge. have you got one? the forecasts _ accept that challenge. have you got one? the forecasts are _ accept that challenge. have you got one? the forecasts are not - accept that challenge. have you got one? the forecasts are not known. | accept that challenge. have you got i one? the forecasts are not known. we waited for this — one? the forecasts are not known. we waited for this winter _ one? the forecasts are not known. we waited for this winter until _ one? the forecasts are not known. we waited for this winter until last - waited for this winter until last tuesday and wednesday, one of the reasons we waited to get the cost and planned, no one knows what the workers will be in april. what a lot of people are suggesting it will stay high. we will have to answer that, ratherthan stay high. we will

paul johnson also takes aim at another policy of liz truss, to pause the green levies on energy bills says that will be somewhere between meaningless and pointless. this comes as a lib temple suggest that a quarter of us do not plan to turn on the heating over the winter period —— this comes as a liberal democrat poll suggests. liz truss says her plan will get the country back on track but a lot of questions about what candidates plan to do for people struggling over this winter and we need to know if both candidates have grasped the intervention that might be needed, we will know a week today so not long to find out. talks to try to end the council strike in scotland are set to enter their fifth day today. bin strikes now affect two thirds of scotland's local authorities and rubbish is building up in many town and city centres. katie hunter reports. the view from portobello beach. the rubbish here isn't as bad as other parts of edinburgh, but it's been building up. refuge workers have been striking in the city since the 18th of august. it's notjust the rubbish we pick up, it's the do

you know, wisconsin was a place where, you know, ron johnson, paul ryan, scott walker, reince preibus, they took a battering ram to organized labor in that state. and organized labor was essential for democrats to organize the down ballot races, secretary of state races, et cetera. we simply don't have that anymore. but what has emerged from that rubble has been maga. maga has emerged from that rubble. it's donald trump voters. >> you make a great point including about the organizational dynamics. you've worked for several democratic campaigns. there's a policy discussion about labor and the labor issues are somewhat more popular than they've been in a long time when you look at a generation looking at the pandemic, work from home, labor rights, billionaires run amok. that's at the policy level. but the long-term level of union members and whether they're actually empowered to calcify what some might call the sclerotic backbone of the democratic party is a question that takes years to build. from the devils advocate to star wars to the history of wisconsin's labor movement, we appreci

the director of the institute for fiscal studies, paul johnson, says in the short term it will bringasures to reduce inflation but they do not suggest we are wrong when we see our plan will reduce inflation and therefore huge payments will be made on our debt therefore huge payments will be made on ourdebr, , therefore huge payments will be made on ourdebu, , ., , on our debt because of rising inflation- _ on our debt because of rising inflation. u— on our debt because of rising inflation. it is _ on our debt because of rising inflation. it is true _ on our debt because of rising inflation. it is true that - on our debt because of rising inflation. it is true that in - on our debt because of rising i inflation. it is true that in april and the latter end of next year all of us will be asked what are you going to do no and that is why i am seeing today in the medium or long term it is really important but nobody including pauljohnson is arguing against the plan by labour will keep energy prices down this winter but also keep inflation down which is so important in the terms of the driv

history rhymes, it repeats itself, it is very interesting the secretary johnson's law firm, paul weisswas a same law firm that ted sorenson was at. it is interesting, if you look at this letter to carl albert in november of 1973, after the midnight massacre, things are really heating up with watergate. he if you graded at says, enclosed as a first draft and i would be happy to talk with you at your convenience. and then he says i admire your recognition of the need for advanced planning. this is not the first conversation or exchange the two of them had. we see carl albright planning prospectively for this. and the document is really extreme. we see in this document, it is on the first page with the introduction. an unexpected vacancy in that office, the presidency, before the confirmation of a new vice president. and, speaking to the issue of this perceived conflict of interest, there is a little caveat here that had sorenson says to him. should the president be confirmed before a vacancy occurs, or should the president serve out his term, this entire memorandum will become unnecessar

ron johnson down eight points. pauldo you think this is about a lack of quality candidates or what the democrats are doing. >> a little bit of both. i think doug, honorably, gives them credit for that. midterm elections are always a brake pedal and almost always a brake pedal on the president's party. this is beginning to look like people want to brake pedal on those guys. they're too eccentric, they're too weird, they're too out of the main stream. that clusters around the tag elections, trump, abortion, guns. those are three things where swing voters and democratic base both agree. it excites the democratic base and engages the swing voters because the democrats are arguing. trump is out of control. abortion -- gas prices are getting better. abortion rights are not. that's what democrats are telling both swing voters. and the gun issue is such a tragedy. so, yeah, it's swung in democrats' favor but it's because the very sensible need to hit the brakes may actually go down to the republicans' detriment this time which

well, it's very interesting that secretary johnson's law firm. paul weiss was the same law firm that that ted sorensen was at and it's interesting if you look at this letter to carl albert dated, november 8th 1973 after the midnight massacre, right and and things are really heating up with watergate if you read it it says in closes at first draft, and i'd be happy to talk with you. yeah in at your convenience. um, and then he says i admire your recognition of the need for advanced planning. so this is not the first, you know conversation or exchange the two of them had um, we see carl albert planning prospectively this and and the document is really extraordinary and and we see in this document. um, it's it's on the first page the introduction talks about an unexpected vacancy in that office the presidency before the confirmation of a new vice president and speaking to the issue before of this perceived conflict of interest. there's a little caveat here that that ted sorens and says to him should a new vice president be confirmed before a vacancy occu

caught our planners by surprise was the length of planning to replace the paul station for the bay view residents. doug johnson remarked as a transportation planner in this region for more than 20 years he hasn't see another area that had so many studies. here's a list of them -- with no significant progress of advancing for an actual station but now after these decades of knowledge progress we find ourselves with momentum and there's studies in 2020 and 2021 and now this study in 2022 reasserting the importance of giving service to the bay view that was striped in 2005. this is the context, so let's talk what happened recently. at the may commission hearing in detail we had broad support for the work and the need to make good on promises to the bayview community. we also heard lots of concern and caution ensuring that benefits of the station go to current residents. we heard support for industrial and pdr jobs to provide living wages especially around cesar chavez area. and the most recent event held on a pleasant evening in june with 20 members present in the bay view. there were key stakeholders such as mem
