alibaba has the bbc does not comment on market rumours but reuters siding those sources they said then was made after alibaba held said the decision was made after aliba ba held a said the decision was made after alibaba held a board meeting last week. the listing was set to take place in august but the decision was made under the lack of financial and political stability in hong kong which we have been reporting, more than 11 weeks of pro—democracy protests which have become increasingly violent and have planted the city into turmoil. hong kong stock market fell to an all—time low. according to sources, alibaba could all—time low. according to sources, aliba ba could lodge all—time low. according to sources, alibaba could lodge the deal as early as october, seeking to raise 10- $50 billion early as october, seeking to raise 10— $50 billion and that is when they think market conditions might become favourable again and tensions left. the deal could potentially upset beijing at a time when there has been so much disruption in hong kong. now let's brief you on some other business storie

host: ginger gibson of reuters.inger: as a former teenage mcdonald's employee myself, i'm going to move on to another subject. immigration has been a topic of political debate for the last few years and appears to be again. we hear deming -- hear democrats criticizing other democrats that they say are too lenient, decriminalizing border crossing, for example. they argue that those types of positions are used by republicans to tell working people like your members that they are going to let immigrants come across the border and take their job. we don't have to look very hard to hear that. the president says that himself. what would you say to those democrats having that debate? whether or not this language about immigration makes working-class people nervous? mary kay: i have to say, as i listen to your question, all i can think about are the hundreds of workers who were deported last night from mississippi after an ice raid in their food processing plant. our union today is reaching out about what legal support we c

one writer telling reuters, we assess them as high risk.s the new plan will get going in roughly a month. clearly there is plenty of work to do to get ready for the 2020 election so that election can happen without various registration voter databases high-jacked and held for ransom all over the country. while reuters was breaking that news today, we also learned about another part of our system for election defense, just falling apart, or at least taking a big step backwards, and that story is next. s next if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe

that goes in contrast to the headlines that we're getting from reuters and dow jones but we are seeing the conflict accelerate a little bit inside the terminal we're monitoring the situation through reuters and also aptn. that's where we're getting these feeds out of hong kong there is also a report that police have started to use pepper spray against protesters inside the airport we have not seen that personally and we're not sure whether that is inside the airport or just outside the terminal, but that is a reuters report that we're trying to confirm. so obviously, a very fluid and ongoing situation. this is at least the second day running and if you go by hong kong time, they're going into the third day of this. it has disrupted operations at one of the world's busiest airports also, there are a lot of reports in other publications today that companies that are doing business in hong kong are starting to make contingency plans, because the city is so disrupted by these protests. but carrie lam, the chief executive appointed by mainland china to rule over that part of china, hong kon

there is no shortage of news if you glance at the headline today from reuters to quartz to time magazine and beyond and it points to the gravity and urgency of the climate challenge. just this past july was the hottest month ever across the globe in history, in recorded history. it's all the more notable because the previous record in 2016 curd or coincided with an el niÑo year which boosted what arty would have been a warm year. this year does not solve the record shattering july we just had is all the more notable. europe has spent much of the summer months sweltering heat waves earlier this year we also saw much of the american heartland underwater essentially amid heavy rains and flooding even amidst the critical pleading season. at the same time, however, we also see indicators that point just to at least some modicum of confidence and optimism in the global energy transition which is underway and in india we see renewable energy costs which are now on average below the average cost of coal power in india and in the united states we see governors, state legislators, mayors, utilitie

. >> ginger gibson of reuters. >> thank you. mary kay, we have seen a couple of the candidates in the field put forward very labor specific policy proposals. we have seen mayor buttigieg and governor inslee and we also see those like elizabeth warren who talks a good deal about labor unions in her very volume is -- volumous number of policy plans. could you offer a grade for us on how these candidates are doing so far talking about the issues that are specific to labor unions? mary kay: we think three candidates of the 24 have offered specific plans and concrete actions that would make it possible for millions more working people to join together in unions, and we are anxious to see the same thing from the entire democratic field. i was with a security officer last week, dolores mcdaniel, and she spoke about her life in protecting billion-dollar buildings that are owned by major corporations in this country, but she does not earn enough to be able to support herself and her granddaughters. she lives in subsidized public housing.

provided but let's take a quick look at some of the polls that were rejected politico the economist reuters if these widely respected outlets and news agencies aren't credible in america then who is holing in the united states there is a club. a network of close associates and friends and they frown upon those polls that are either new or are now members of the club or the association so i would certainly speculate that has something to do with that it is a partisan organization the democratic national committee so any poll say that may have a tradition of leaning republican or not considered to be in the mainstream of democratic artists and ship you know would be would be ruled out even the polls deemed credible. the democratic party have a margin of error of between 2 and 6 percent and when the criteria for being in the debates is only 2 percent a margin of error like that is a pretty big deal so thomas again could have between 0 and 7 percent support among american voters now keep in mind there are over 200000000 people who are registered to vote in the united states of america so what's

they have built a stake and still in the process of buying shares according to reuters.gest lens and glasses manufacturer has been rocked by an executive power struggle since the two companies merged last year. >>> and cnbc sources say deutsche bank and ubs have discussed ways to combine parts of their businesses but didn't find an agreement on critical questions. talks on a potential alliance which were first reported in "the wall street journal" investment banking operations. ubs has declined to comment. what more you tell us? >> reporter: well, deutsche bank is also declining to comment on that story from the "wall street journal. my sources have confirmed that there were talks happening in june about potentially tying up the investment banking unit. it kind of also makes sense because ubs is very strong in equities, deutsche bank has been brought up the strongest banks in fixed trading, fixed income and currency and rates they have weaknesses there especially if you look at the last years, but still they're a big name in that business. and to combine both would make

joining us here in our question is ginger gibson, the political reporter for reuters.nd bloomberg law's reporter. thank you for being with us on newsmakers. let me bring you a question front and center in the democratic party, medicare for all being proposed by bernie sanders versus former vice president joe biden advocating a public option, but also keeping private health insurance. what is your view? >> i thought the debate in detroit created a false choice between those union members who bargain health care benefits directly with their employers and millions of americans who have enjoyed the expansion of health care through the medicaid system. for decades our members have been fighting for health care for everyone in this nation and i think the best of the democratic debate is when we stick to the principle of how are we going to cover americans with quality, affordable health care for everyone? >> so you support private health insurance along with public plans? mary: yes. we support every policy that allows for more people to be covered. in health-care coverage. t

then we have this reuters report that the official german spokesperson rejects. exactly the report, but rejects that there might have been a decision made. where is this emanating from, and what is the reluctance from germany do not have a balanced budget? if public spending is relatively low compared to other european countries? tina: this is the political culture of germany. you look at the way that the german press portrays language about central-bank action, etc., penalty for savers and things like this. this runs very deep indeed. think this is as much a religion of the changing politics in germany as anything else -- a reflection of the changing politics in germany as anything else. vonnie: then what they allow germany to go into recession? if that is the end game, would anything be done to avoid that, or would german politicians as a whole decide it was ok for that to happen? certainly in the u.s., there is a big effort to not have the u.s. go into a recession. the dynamics are quite different between the two countries on that front. i think you would be h

. >> reporter: yes, amara, this is a reuters report that we're seeing, saying that the chief executive of hong kong actually did suggest to beijing, to the government there, that they should expect one of the demand, one of the five demands, the protesters wanted, had to be met. that is, the complete withdrawal of the controversial extradition bill. and now potentially, that could have calmed things down just a few months ago. but according to the reuters report, the government in beijing refused saying they won't give in to even the protesters demands. we are looking at whether or not this is accurate. but if it is the case, we did hear from one pro-government official here in hong kong, speaking on a condition of anonymity that there was frustration that they couldn't at least hold up that extradition bill, which they thought might defuse the situation of someone. as you said, there are a number of very prominent pro-democracy activists, joshua wang, who has become one of the faces of this movement, certainly back in 2014, it is the fifth time that he has been arrested by police. we

liz: edward, we are getting headlines out of reuters. reuters just got an interview with loretta mester, the cleveland fed president, saying she would have preferred to not cut rates in july. she would have preferred to leave them pat. she says it was a close call and she says the real question here is whether to cut u.s. interest rates or keep them steady. she's not entirely sold on rate cuts. but she also is saying it's hard to read a strong signal from the u.s. treasury yield curve. she's not panicking at all about this and does not see, at least it feels like she doesn't see a recession. what do you make of that? reporter: bullard told me yesterday, basically he said you don't look at that quick inversion. it was just a very -- he's looking for a sustained inversion. he said that, you know, we have a ten-year expansion going on. he doesn't see why it can't be 14 years, going forward. you have some very hawkish members of the fed, mester would fall in that case if she did not want a rate cut in july. according to bullard, he believes

according to reuters we have calls in to authorities on all sides to find out if this is accurate. they believe that beijing said no, do not give in to any of these demands from the protesters. but i think we've moved beyond that now. one of the main calls that these protesters are asking for is an independent inquiry into police activity, many protesters think they've used excessive force. the police say they haven't. >> mm-hmm, all right, it's taken many, you know, shapes and forms in terms of the demands coming from demonstrators in 13 weeks now, and it only seems to be intensifying. paula hancocks, thank you so much. we'll get back to you to find out what's going on in your vicinity right now. >>> still ahead, president trump says he forgives his long-time personal aide for her conversations with journalists that got her fired. >> she said she was drinking a little bit and she was with reporters, and everything she said was off the record. that still doesn't really cover for it, mention add couped a co things about my children. >> new this morning, the president's tweets sugges

we have an announcement of a deal without many details and the details we do have were leaked to reuters and haven't been hammered out yet and there will be negotiations tomorrow but just stepping back a minute and thinking about this it's remarkable to me that no one elected any of these people and they're working out a 33 month plan for a very elaborate power sharing arrangement and very elaborate schemes to rebuild the country and to make institutions and systemic change without any elections which happen more than 3 years 3 and a half years into the future and so it's just it's just very interesting to me that you know we have sort of breakthrough after breakthrough from these 2 negotiating sides usually prompted by violence and then announcements of steps forward that are often opaque and the process is opaque so while sudanese do have a right to rejoice here and they are moving you know towards peace and away from war i don't think this is really systemic change yet this is rather a sort of pact did transition toward something that isn't quite clear yet what do you make of the fact
